Spiders are part of life in Brisbane, and a garden with no spiders at all is not realistic. Still, webs building up around windows, eaves, garage doors and outdoor furniture can make a home unpleasant to use, and many people do not want them near play areas or the back steps. Redbacks under outdoor chairs, huntsman spiders inside the car and black house spiders in window corners are some of the most common calls.
The crew we book checks where spiders are sheltering and what is drawing them in. Spiders go where the insects are, so lights near doors, overgrown garden beds and cluttered sheds tend to attract more of them. The treatment usually covers the outside of the house, the eaves, fences, sheds and garage, plus the roof void and inside corners where needed.
- Webs brushed down from eaves, windows and doorways
- Spray to eaves, walls, fences and outdoor furniture
- Roof void and sub-floor treatment where access allows
- Garage, shed and letterbox corners checked
- Tips on lighting and clutter that attract insects
High-set Queenslanders across suburbs like Wilston, Ascot and Clayfield often have a lot of space underneath, including storage and laundry areas, where spiders settle in. Newer homes and units usually need less work, with the focus on balconies, window frames and garden edges. Webs tend to come back as new spiders move in from gardens and parkland, so many households book spider control once or twice a year.
